Sci Fi Wire indicates that Genndy Tartakovsky, producer of Cartoon Network’s Clone Wars series, has stated that upcoming episodes of the series will feature longer segments and tie in to Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. “We’re doing 12-minute episodes this time, as opposed to the three-minute episodes last time,” says Tartakovsky. “It really allows us to open up both character development and action.” In addition, Tartakovsky revealed that the upcoming five chapters will contain information that will appear in the opening scroll crawl of Episode III. The new season of Star Wars: Clone Wars will begin airing on Cartoon Network March 21, 2005.
